0.0.4 13 Aug 2026
Release notes
- New: Swift Package Manager support on iOS. CocoaPods keeps working: the podspec and Package.swift point at the same sources, so existing projects need no changes. This matters because CocoaPods trunk becomes read-only on December 2, 2026, and Flutter builds fail once a project enables SwiftPM and a plugin has no Package.swift.
- Changed: iOS sources moved from ios/Classes to ios/background_location_plus/Sources/background_location_plus, which is the layout SwiftPM requires. No source code changed.
- Fix: Removed the package attribute from the Android manifest. Android Gradle Plugin 8 deprecated it in favour of the namespace the build file already declares, and having both is what triggers the warning on every build.
- Improved: Static analysis is clean again (unused imports in the tests, and angle brackets in a doc comment that read as HTML).

0.0.3 07 Apr 2026
Release notes
- Breaking: Removed plugin_platform_interface dependency (unused).
- Fix: Stream leak when initialize() was called multiple times.
- Fix: iOS permissions now use CLLocationManagerDelegate instead of a fixed 1s delay.
- Fix: Android requestPermissions now requests permissions natively via ActivityCompat (previously always returned false).
- Fix: Android errors sent through EventSink.error() instead of success().
- Fix: Android onLocationAvailability no longer sends data through the location stream — only fires an error when location becomes unavailable.
- New: configure() applies in real-time if the Android foreground service is already running.
- New: dispose() method to release native resources.
- New: Customizable Android notification title and text via configure().
- New: iOS Privacy Manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) declares location data collection.
- Improved: Podspec metadata (version, summary, homepage, author).
- Improved: Android plugin implements ActivityAware for proper lifecycle handling.
- Improved: Tests rewritten to match current API.
- Improved: Example app with proper stream subscription management.
- Improved: README with full API reference and correct setup instructions.
